#406: Raymond Smith, Weekend Review, Mailbag

The Weekly Dartscast

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after the US Darts Masters!

The boys start this week's show with an early look at the contenders for the Player of the Year for 2025, and discuss whether Luke Humphries is the clear front runner after his title success in New York, before also looking back on other events during a busy weekend of action, including the World Seniors Champion of Champions and the inaugural Australian Darts Association block of tour events.

Raymond Smith (15:32) calls in to reflect on a memorable first weekend playing on the new Australian Darts Association Tour. 'The Guru' looks back on completing the clean sweep and winning all four events in Brisbane over the weekend, as well as his plans for the rest of 2025, including a return to Lakeside for the WDF World Championships, a possible crack at Q-School in the future, and his thoughts on the new ADA organisation and the current darting landscape in Australia.

Alex and Burton wrap up the show with a dip into the mailbag to answer some of your listener questions, including whether there will ever be an 'Ally Pally Open' and if we will see a PDC world champion come from outside of Europe in the next 10 years.
